It is from 1988 and the only album listed at Discogs. World Lucky treats us with this quite funky sounding highlife. The bass pretty much at the foreground, rhythms that babble on and Lucky chanting with his background singers. A record worth a couple of spins on a quiet evening .. Hij komt uit 1988[...]

They were crazy about the Peugeot 504 in those days, I count at least 12 .. An Etsakor highlife record with quite a different sound than the ones we've heard before is this one with Sir Maliki Shoman & the Golden 9 of Africa. It is very laid-back and relaxed. Sir Maliki brings an ode[...]

As I promised you yesterday, today we've got an album with Asi Balewa. Another Etsakor Highlife artist and one we didn't see before. I can't tell you anything about him so let's just listen. Get it and spread it as usual .. Discogs 01 - Alhaji abu ali 02 - Late alhaji kashetu usman 03[...]

First there are eight records on Decca, then three on Shanu Olu Records and then four on Ebohon Records of which this is the first one from 1980, EBLPS 01. Super deep Etsakor highlife with master Waziri. Another lesson taught to us by my supplier Sofian from Paris, thanks a million Sofian .. De eerste[...]

From Agenebode, the centre of Etsakor territory, we find this album which is in pretty good condition. It is volume 7 of Professor Adomagbo Irene's Weppa-Wanno Dance Band. Decent sound. The professor is more of a speaker than singer, something we find with more Nigerian artists. Sleeve is in tact, vinyl too, awesome music, a[...]

Etsako people are one of the major ethnic groups in Edo State, Nigeria. They presently occupy three local government areas of Edo State; these are Etsako East, Etsako West and Etsako Central, with Agenebode, Auchi and Fugar as their administrative headquarters. In some quarters the people of Owan are referred to as Etsako. The Etsakos,[...]

Uit 1978 en op Ijebor hebben we deze plaat vandaag. Etsakor Sound Voices uit Nigeria. Hij kraakt behoorlijk maar ik wilde hem toch brengen. Ik kan er weinig zinnigs over zeggen maar telkens als ik er naar luister intrigeert hij me. De laidback sound is ondanks de mindere geluidskwaliteit heel fijn. Van de laatste beurs[...]

Hello, good morning, let me start with this; to all audiophile listeners, do not touch this, it is just not for you ! This album from 1977 with Honourable Vincent Ugabi has some scratches. This is no reason however not to post it. His Etsakor sound is incredibly nice. Already from the first minutes I[...]

Good morning, if we would organize a contest, to see which album here score's the highest on great song titles, this here record would certainly end up in the top 10. Part from that the deep Etsakor highlife with the raw voice of Mr. Lawani puts this elpee on quite some wishlists. We had two[...]

One of the slowest and laidback sounds we find in our Etsakor section is the music of I.I. Ayeni & his Group. We've been dreaming on three of his albums so far, today we find the fourth. Mesmerizing deep highlife with the Chief .. Eén van de meest ontspannen en onderuit gezakte sounds in onze[...]

As most of our Etsakor highlife records, this one with Chief I.I. Ayeni is also not free of noise. Being from 1979 it could have been worse though. It is the third album we have with the chief and the oldest until now. Slow music from Ora, Bendel State .. Zoals de meeste Etsakor platen[...]
